A study published in the June 2010 issue of the Journal of Family Psychology shows that the more daily stress reported by participants, the lower levels of sexual activity and satisfaction.
Their paper in the Journal of Family Psychology is entitled 'The association between daily stress and sexual activity" (vol 24(3), June 2010, 271-279. doi: 10.1037/a0019365).
The researchers used 103 female students in their study.
The women completed questionnaires over a three-month period, along with filling out diaries on 12 separate occasions -- each just before a major examination.
According to the abstract to their paper, 'Findings suggest that higher self-reported stress in daily life was associated with lower levels of sexual activity and satisfaction and a decrease in relationship satisfaction.'
The researchers state that their study is ''¦ one of the first to examine the covariation between self-perceived stress and daily sexual activity within a time period of 3 months by collecting data on stress, sexual activity, sexual satisfaction, and sexual fulfillment as well as individual and dyadic coping.'
And also they said, ''¦ dyadic [couples] coping was positively associated with sexual outcomes but did not moderate the association of experienced stress and sexuality.'
